There will be a maximum of eight runners in Sunday's Irish Derby at the Curragh with Aidan O'Brien's Epsom third Los Angeles heading the four-strong assault on the race for Ballydoyle.
O'Brien will also be represented by Grosvenor Square, Euphoric and The Euphrates in the mile-and-a-half showpiece.
The defection of Chief Little Rock and Agenda means there will be a maximum of eight runners in a race where the supplemented Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly heads the market at odds of 11-10.
A statement published on the Coolmore website read, “Ballydoyle have confirmed that Los Angeles, Grosvenor Square, Euphoric and The Euphrates will all likely take their place.
“Los Angeles will look to make it back-to-back successes in the Classic under Ryan Moore following Auguste Rodin's authoritative win in 2023.”
It continued, “Declan McDonogh will ensure a good even pace aboard Euphoric with Wayne Lordan and Dylan Browne McMonagle aboard the other pair.
“With the request that Ballydoyle run four in the race and with four other likely starters, this will hopefully ensure field size to support the World Pool.”
O'Brien will cover half of the eight-runner field, with Keeper's Heart, trained by Ger Lyons, David Menuisier's Sunway, the Roger Varian-trained Matsuri and James Fanshawe's ante-post market leader Ambiente Friendly completing the line-up after his fine second to City Of Troy at Epsom.
